"I JUST WANT EVERYTHING to go perfect." Ma says pacing around her room.
"What if he doesn't show up? What if I spit all over him? What if I puke on his shirt?? Oh my god. What if I do? I can't go, I can't."
"What? Are you gonna text him and say, "can't go or else you'll be covered in spit by the end?" I roll my eyes, laying on her bed eating a strawberry.
She shoots me a glare before looking at herself in the mirror. "Is this okay hon?" She asks as she smooths out her strapless, emerald dress.
"God mom. It's so unfair how you are hotter than I am." I pout, with a mouthful of strawberries.
"Ughh please honey I'd kill for a body like yours."
"But mom! Look at your smile. It's so gorgeous."
"Honey! Look at your hips. They are even wider than my smile."
"Pft mom. Have you seen your butt? It's gorgeous. You could be Nicki Minaj!"
Ma snorts. "Whoa honey, lets not get that far."
Eli comes running into the room while sucking on a lollipop bigger than his head. "Ma, there's a nice man outside!"
Ma's eyes fill with worry and nervousness before landing her eyes on the lollipop. "Eli.." she starts. "Who gave you the lollipop?"
Eli gives her a crooked smile. "The man outside. Duh! Why else do you think I called him nice?"
Well, this guy is a kiss ass, isn't he? As long as he has something for me.
Ma murmurs something before smoothing out her dress one last time and running out of the room. Eli and I look at each other before running behind her.
I see a tall man standing out the doorway. He clenches is hands a few times before looking up at us.
He looked even more nervous than Ma did.
He looks up at sees my mom. He unclenches his fists and lets out a heavy breath. His eyes look all around her, before settling on her face, and letting out a perfect smile out to my mom.
And oh my god does he look hot. Wow. Good job, mom.
My mom turns tomato red as she clears her throat. "Archer." She says softly. "I-" starts my mom before I cut her off.
"His name is Archer?!?" I asked. Could he get anymore hotter?
"No honey, his name is Bugaboo the Third."
Then, I turn into the tomato my mom once was as Bugaboo and Eli stifle a laugh.
"So mom, are you gonna introduce us to the nice man with the lollipops?" asked Eli, as he sucks his lollipop.
"Loves, meet Archer. My.. uhh.." she looks off to him, giving a confused look.
Bugaboo's eyes widen and he lifts up his hands and shrugs.
"Date. For tonight," I say, finishing for them.
"Hopefully more than tonight," murmurs Bugaboo as my mom blushes and I coo.
"Well kids, here's the rules. You wanna start them off, Eli?" I say, as I grab Ma's hands and lead her next to Bugaboo.
"My pleasure." says Eli, as he gives off his oh so deathly glare. "Open all doors for her."
"Tell her she's beautiful." I say.
"You hurt her, I hurt you."
"Do whatever she wants. She's your queen."
"Keep your hands off of her."
"Have her home by 11pm."
"Goodbye and thank you." Eli finishes, as he shuts the door on their shocked faces and proceeds to high five me.
We run to the window to see them walk to his car and open the door for her. He runs to the other side of the car before opening the drivers seat door. He grabs something out of his car, shuts the door, and slowly jogging back to out front door.
Eli and I exchange confused faces as we hear the doorbell ring. I walk back to the door and open it, giving him a confused look.
He hands me what he grabbed out of his car. I looked at it, before narrowing my eyes at him.
"Oh you are good." I say, as he smiles, proud of himself.
I coo in my head, before giving him a soft smile. "Have a good time, Bugaboo. Mama's a gem." I wink and shut the door on his face once again.
I look down at the new bought Nutella jar in my hands, before smirking. Now my strawberries have a friend.
